I like it. I've omly used it with wood and charcoal. I used one in Alaska, and really appreciated it as a way to cook anyplace with no fuel but what could be gathered on site. And I use mine now both camping and just on the back porch when I don't feel like using the Traeger. (There's still just something about a burger over coals....) It carries well, and is just big enough. I don't like how dirty it gets, but that would probably be the he same for any grill unless you are super careful. I clean it out by simply dumping it upside down into a fire pit. That said, it can also serve as a great little fire pit in times when the ground will not serve.
